We have been invited out for a meal on Sat for my OH's birthday, and the host is making Squirrel pie, anybody had it before.
I'm willing to try anything, but my OH is a bit dubious!

Yes fresh deep fried and all I will say it is an acquired taste !! It is better stewed as it disguises the taste, whoops sorry enhances the flavour ;-) :-D

Now you'd have thought he wouldn't have to eat anything he didn't fancy on his own birthday!!

I've not eaten it but heard it's like strong rabbit

yes my schnauzer after she killed it

Yes its a strong gamey taste not quite everyones cup of tea. I think most people are put off by thinking of the squirrel alive and all cute bushy tail etc

I've had squirrel curry, very strong taste- wouldn't have it again!

The way I described the taste was nutty squirrel poo :-) not that I have ever had first hand experience of eating squirrel poop !! :-D

Caution, may contain nuts!

Not sure I want to try it now!!

There are plenty of recipes online and it really doesn't sound too bad

...although perhaps they are teasing you and it's going to be a chicken pie really!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou for this thread. I desperately needed a good laugh after the day Ive had!!

> Not sure I want to try it now!!

Look forward to hearing what you thought?

Yuk, you wouldnt get me eating that, is it red or grey?

Yellow, if it's curried.

Iv got a few friends at uni from Korea and they really hate the idea of cheese as it sounds disgusting to them, yer when they actually describe it to me I suppose it is.

Go on live life on the edge LOL give it a go, people all over the world eat squirrel and in some countries its considered a delicacy, just tell your husband not to worry as it is free range after all! :)

i made squirrel pie last week it was very very good (it was part of a game pie also rabbit and pheasant and venison in it) very very tasty :)
